    The 2021 Kia Forte LX: before you buy

    CarmaCars rents cars; this page helps you judge the 2021 Kia Forte LX before you buy one elsewhere. Before you buy the 2021 Kia Forte LX, see the figures and the checks worth doing.

    Before you sign for the Forte

    A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Owners filed 69 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, unknown or other and electrical system; have those parts checked. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

    What the figures tell you

    The powertrain here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive and an automatic (CVT). It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

    The combined figure, 7.1 L/100 km, means roughly 21 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $110.10. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,050 a year for 15,000 miles.

    Is it right for your trip?

    It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.

    The Forte in everyday use

    Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. In plain terms, its 425 litres of luggage space hold a family's bags for a long weekend.

    Rent it for a week first

    Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.

    Choosing the right one

    Compare the LX with the other trims of the same year before you decide. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.

    What it costs to run

    Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

    Renting for Freestone

    Freestone is about 3,665 km from our Toronto location: the car is picked up in Toronto, or delivered on request. We rent from Toronto only. If your trip to Freestone starts in the Toronto area, rent the car here.
